  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks)

  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 tsp. real vanilla extract (no imitation vanilla flavoring)
  • 3 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)

  • Shape dough with hands into golf ball-sized dough balls and place a couple inches apart on greased cookie sheets.

  • Rotate cookie sheets on racks about every 7 minutes while baking.
  • Cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: There are times when I’m making a double batch of this recipe where I have to add an additional quarter to half cup of flour in order to be able to roll the dough into balls. If the dough gets too sticky. Add a little flour to the batter.
 
NOTE: My cookies took almost 20 minutes to bake.
